    One of the guys on the OzVolvo forum built a C70T5 AWD manual using mostly donor parts from a V70XC.

    Dark coloured cars typically look good with light coloured wheels and lighter/brighter coloured cars look great with dark wheels. Silver or a little darker would...

    This would be my first guess. Of the possible causes, it's one of the preferable ones. A new radiator and a flush and you're good to go again.



    I'd be checking along these lines too....

    The passenger side airbag is different too between 97-98 cars and 99-00 cars. The dash top is the same and the bag can be swapped over between dash tops though.

    What typically goes wrong with the SC901?

    I've had a couple of volvo branded alpine 6 stackers fail but the SC901s I've had have been fine.
    The current one in our V70T5 is fine other than being a...

    Might sound a little more appealing but won't make a tangible performance difference.
    The stock airbox design is quite good.

    Lowering springs, assuming they're the right springs for your car, should always be captured at full suspension droop, so wont fall out.
    ie. their free length needs to be long enough that they're...

    Both look excellent. Great work.
    As much as I like a silver x70, the T5R would be my pick of the bunch. :)

    Late C70 and V70XC.
    '99 onwards will have the blue badge and '97-'98 will have the black badge.

    I've got one from an early V70XC on my '98 V70T5.

    Great info on the wheel bolts, we don't believe it to be an issue (unless you want to run a spacer). I'll do some more measuring and look at it further though. Thanks heaps!

    I think 18" wheels look a bit oversized though you can get away with it if they're 18" Pegs with a very low profile tyre and the car is super low.
    17" wheels look pretty good.

    Not quite an 850,...

    If you have standard springs in the car they'll be fine. They're not ideal for more spring rate and lower ride heights though.

    Not sure if this is helpful or not -

    For the 320mm S40/V50 T5 AWD (and LS-LV Focus ST) calipers and rotors to go on a 1997-2000 850/x70, we use the same line for the 302mm brakes.

    Hi there Chuck,
    With the current low(ish) value of the AUD vs the GBP, freight isn't too painful and we do ship regularly to the UK.
    I'll drop you a PM.

    No worries. :)
    I'd say you're correct - assuming the tapped holes in the caliper are the same as those in the Volvo/ATE caliper, you may even be able to re-use the line for the 302mm brake setup.
